seagate 1TB and 120GB SSD

After getting them for my personal build, I won't ever build without one.

 

I would get at least a 120GB for OS, Programs, few games and other stuff. Then use a secondary HDD (1 or 2TB or smaller, depending if you're a digital hoarder or not) to store data.

The Samsung 840 is fantastic, and 120GB is plenty as long as you don't have a tonne of programs installed. And trust me, an SSD is one of the best upgrades you can make.

I don't know the install size for TESO or LOL but I doubt 120GB is enough for those two games and four to five more games, plus OS :( You should aim to leave 10 to 15 GB free at all times.

EDIT: What I'd recommend is install the games with long loading times on the SSD, and the rest on a regular HDD. That is what I do. An SSD will not affect game performance apart from loading times, which will improve dramatically.

OS takes about 20GB, you should never fill a disk up and have about 15 GB remaining

[Duhyes]

so is this good

 

samsung 840 120GB

 

and 1 TB HDD? 7200rpm

[Duhyes]

is that a surplus of space i have to install? i dont install alot of crap, also when i want to reformat will it be good? reformat HDD AND SDD

[Duhyes]

I don't the install size for TESO or LOL but I doubt 120GB is enough for those two games and four to five more games, plus OS :( You should aim to leave 10 to 15 GB free at all times.

what od u mean by doubt enough for those two games and four to five more games? do u mean that it wont fit

[nishank93]

I meant depending on what seven games you wish to install (of which two are LOL and TESO), there is a possibility that all of them may not fit on a 120GB SSD. But I still recommend you get the a 120GB SSD for OS and some games, and a 1TB 7200 rpm HDD for storage.

What if i just put 2 games? how would 2 games come 50GB each

[nishank93]

Yes, that is what I said before. Install the two or three or four games with the longest load times on the SSD, and the rest on the games on the HDD :)

[Hirad123]

so is this good

 

samsung 840 120GB

 

and 1 TB HDD? 7200rpm

Yes that's fine the combination really doesn't matter. Just choose an HDD of your choice and size of your choice and same goes for the SSD. And yes it's worth the upgrade. I would probably go with a bigger size HDD if i were you though since they aren't event that expensive for how much storage you are getting.

Yes, its good. This SSD is one from the best other there. Also, 1TB is enoguh 100%.

[Humbug]

I dont want to buy SSD

There are only 3 kinds of people

1) Those who have SSD

2) Those who want SSD

3) Those who don't know that they want SSD (you)

OK, please do a little more research on this forum and others before asking multiple questions over multiple posts. There is a never-ending battle between Western Digital and Seagate. Both are good, just go with whatever gets the best reviews and run with it.
